Start at the bottom of the bezel and pull outward. That front over plate is only held on by those snap clips. They pop right out although there are kinda tough. Once you get that radio bezel cover off, the cig lighter and acessories on the bottom portion are going to need to be unhooked from the back. Then the radio itself is only held on by 4 screws i believe.
This is what needs to come off to give you an idea http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Dodge...Q5fAccessories

The bezel on mine was held in by one screw behind the little trash bag holder thing. Other than that, snap clips.

We have a newer style bezel 06-08. Only clips. No screws.

My '06 had 2 screws on the bottom of the bezel, facing upwards that had to be removed before you could unclip the rest of the bezel. It was a pita to get to them, I had to remove the center console to get to them. Here is a diagram.
